I need to install Concourse(CI/CD) on my Local windows machine
Below process I followed :
Install Bosh on local system.
It was successfully install and while executing command at command prompt
then it show version all "bosh" -- "version 3.0.1-712bfd7-2018-03-13T23:26:43Z".
Try Download the concourse-lite deployment manifest file but it fails it shows below error.
Follow the below link to install Concourse :
https://concoursetutorial.com/ --- section For Windows:
I don't reccomend doing this at all because you'll be swimming so far out of the main stream that you'll find tons of issues and no one is going to care enough to want to fix them.
Even if you didn't find any issues, resources require a linux worker for anything to work so your going to need linux anyways.
I recommend running your db, web and linux worker on linux and then running windows workers as needed.

I have some problems trying to test "needs-restarting -r ; echo $?" inside a RedHat distribution. The command works for cases where a reboot is not required, but I have not been able to voluntarily generate the need to reboot in the operating system, which has made it impossible for me to know if the response to the command works. That is to say the output in 1 of the needs-restarting. Do you know of any way to generate the need to reboot in a controlled manner in RedHat?
You can find which packages require a system reboot after the update to Redhat KB. If you can downgrade one of these packages, you can generate reboot required state. But this is not recommended in production systems. glibc and kernel downgrades can cause problems. You can try it at new installed Rhel server after "yum update".
We have a VSTO Application that is installed on many machines. If the Add-In is already installed, there is no issue. If you try to uninstall or install, you get the following error message:
The following Microsoft Office solution cannot be installed due to a general installer error: App_Name.vsto
0x80070002
This application has been working without hiccups for almost a year now. Our Sys Admin and I believe we've narrowed it down to a mandatory Windows 10 update as our base Windows 10 image has it working fine and it works on Windows 7 no issue. However, the update is already pushed out and nothing is showing up in the logs.
I know the VSTOInstaller.exe.Config file has been the cause for several of these installer issues, however I cannot find that file on any of our machines even though I KNOW I modified one machine and changed the name to VSTOInstaller.exe.Config.Old for the Business.fba error some have gotten. I assume an update somehow packaged the config file into the .exe.
The Windows 7 machines also don't have the Config file as well...
What we've tried:
Searching for an older .Config file to place in the folder
Rolling back to a previous version
Recompiling
Changing the publish destination folder and setting version back to version 1.0.0.0
Update: Placing a VSTOInstaller.Exe.Config then a VSTOInstaller.Config in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\VSTO\10.0 folder
Update: Running repair then doing an uninstall/reinstall on Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime (x64) program from Control Panel.
Update: Cleared Application Event Log
Update: Stopped Windows Update service, Renamed C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributionOld, then restarted the Windows Update service.
I'm at a loss. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
If anyone has the VSTOInstaller.exe.Config file, I'd love to try and place that in the folder to see if it works.
Version:
Word Version - 16.0.6769.2040
VS Version - 14.0.25420.1
OS Version - 1511 (OS Build 10586.494)
Turns out the error was part of a Microsoft Office update. Unsure if somehow the update listed in the question updated Office 2016 in the background somewhere.
The steps to resolution were as follows:
Uninstall O365 from the Control Panel
Download the a full removal tool and run it from https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Uninstall-Office-2016-Office-2013-or-Office-365-from-a-PC-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8
At this point after those have ran, uninstall the add-in if it was installed.
Reinstall O365
Reinstall/Install the VSTO Add-In
Easier resolution than I thought and really appreciate all the assistance.
Windows 10 Update error 0x80070002 or 0x80070003
Step 1: Windows Service Checklist:
Open Windows services.msc, check the following services status (If it is different set it to the recommended settings)
[enter image description here][1]
Disable any third party antivirus applications, as it may block the Windows 10 upgrade process.
Step 2: Reset Windows updates:
Resetting windows updates, in this step we will clean up old failed updates that have been saved in the computer, let start by first disabling the windows update service.
Service Status(Start/Stop/Blank) Automatic/manual/Disabled
Background Intelligent file Transfer Started Automatic
Crytographic Service Started Automatic
DCOM service Started Automatic
RPC Started Automatic
Windows Modules Installer Started Automatic
Windows Update Started Automatic
Windows defender Blank Disabled
Windows firewall Blank Disabled
Disable Windows update service and stop the service
Now open Run command and type %windir%
Check for Software distribution folder delete the folder. (If it fails restart the computer, then try deleting it)
In Run command window type “cleanmgr” to launch disc cleanup to clean old junk files.
Restart the windows update service set it Automatic. Once completed, the windows upgrade error code 80070002 should be resolved. Try the upgrade now. Still unlucky, get in touch with us or proceed to next step
Step 3: Dism/Readiness Tool
This step is to fix core Operating system files that are corrupted and is affecting the Windows 10 upgrade and causing the error. Most of the cases running the tool or the command will fix the corrupted files, there are cases where some stubborn files remain. We can assist you in repairing them manually, post the log to us so we can check and revert back to you.
Depending on the OS, you have to choose proper tools,
For Windows 8 and higher use the following command in elevated command prompt.
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
For windows 7: Download and run windows update readiness tool
microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=20858 –X64
microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=3132 – X86
Check the logs for the above tools in the following location
%windir%/logs/cbs
Post the log for further steps.

In maximum rpm under the section on the %pre install script, it mentions that it's rare to use the %pre script. In fact, it further states that (at that time anyway) none of the 400+ RedHat packages used the %pre script.
I would think the %pre script would be the ideal location to stop the existing service before installing files over top of the currently installed version.
Is my thinking wrong? How is it that RedHat got away with never using %pre during upgrade for this purpose in any of their service packages?
Yes %pre is much more commonly used than when "Maximum RPM" was written in 1997. That doesn't change the fact that %pre should be used "rarely".
The reason is that %pre prevents installation (and may cause an entire
transaction to fail if there are needed install time dependencies).
Stopping a service in %pre and restarting in %post opens a larger window
where the service is not running than simply restarting a service in %post
The already running service typically reads its configuration files
only on startup (and so rpm can replace files while daemon is running).
And running executables have a reference count on the file system and so
continue to run even if the file that was executed was removed/replaced
by a newer package.
Well, I went and did the research I should have done before asking this question. I downloaded several service packages from RedHat 7.1 and ran:
rpm -qp --scripts <package-name>.rpm
I found out 1) that it's no longer true that %pre is not used. Even among the few that I checked a couple of them used %pre, and 2) it appears that most services just allow rpm to overwrite their data files and binaries during upgrade, and then use the upgrade portion of the %postun (post uninstall) script to restart (or try-restart) the service.
I would have thought this rather unsafe, as while you're writing over data files (especially) during upgrade, the old running service might get confused. It seems to me ultimately it's safer to stop the service during upgrade on %pre and start it again on upgrade during %postun... but that's just me.
Is it possible to set the path where the berkshelf plugin puts the cookbooks it installs? (As in the .berkshelf folder)
I am running Windows 7.
I am currently trying to install a mysql server using an opscode cookbook to a vm and here at work they have the %HOMEDRIVE% system variable set to a network drive. So when .berkshelf starts at the beginning of the Vagrantfile, it pushes the cookbooks to the network drive and it causes it to be slow and well, its not where it should be. Is there a fix to this?
VirtualBox did this as well, but I fixed it by altering the settings. I tried looking for some sort of equivalent settings for berkshelf, but the closest I got was for the standard berkshelf (thats not a vagrant plugin), it appears you can set this environment variable:
ENV['BERKSHELF_PATH']
Found here:
http://www.rubydoc.info/github/RiotGames/berkshelf/Berkshelf#berkshelf_path-class_method
I need to be able to have the cookbooks it reads from the berksfile store to my laptops local drive instead, as in my scenario I cannot have the mobility of the VM limited to the building because of files that are stored on the network.
Any incite would be much appreciated.
Perhaps its better to use the actual berkshelf over the vagrant plugin?
Thanks.
If you want to have the portability - a full chef-repo ready for chef-solo runs, better off using standalone berkshelf instead of the vagrant-berkshelf plugin - which is NOT that flexibly.
For complex cookbooks, I prefer to use standalone berkshelf as it allows me to do berks install --path chef/cookbooks to copy all cookbooks required from ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks, then I can just tar the whole thing and transfer to other machines for the same chef-solo run. some people use capistrano automate the tar and scp/rsync over the network. I just use rysnc/scp;-)

Does anyone know of a good way to do remote administration of a Windows XP machine using just the command line?
At the moment the only things it needs to do is to be able to install applications/patches, and transfer files to and from the machine, and installing registry patches would be nice as well.
Currently we use a horrible hacked together solution that uses NetMeeting, in the past I've thrown together a proof of concept using SSH for windows (at the time windows 2000) but it didn't work to my satisfaction and was pretty buggy. Which was probably the result of the SSH Daemon I was running more then anything.
I'm pretty much open to anything, however a solution using SSH would be ideal since it's already approved for installation in my organization, and it's free. I work in the Canadian Government so anything free is best, and anything that we've already got approved for installation is even better.
psexec will allow you to run commands remotely. Some of the other PsTools can help you kill applications, get a list of processes, etc.
Why must it be
remote administration of a Windows XP machine using just the command line?
I think your very limiting yourself to what is possible by sticking to the command line. In windows environments you can easily use Group Policy to distribute most software and/or patches, and for the ones that you can't you can usually script these changes through any of the popular scripting languages such as JScript, VBScript, Kixtart, AutoIt, Powershell, etc. With these scripting languages you can easily leverage WMI to exceute and mointor processes on remotes systems, copy files, updates registry...basically everything that you're trying to accomplish....and it won't cost you anything but the cost of learning these technologies, and there many online resources and which document how to do them. Here is a link to the Microsoft Script Center, its a great start: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx
I wrote this a while back, and used it to maintain my home windows XP desktop for a while:
ssh and telnet on windows
I used the SSH option (not telnet). It worked for my purposes (killing remote tasks, copying files etc.) It uses Cygwin, but you're able to run regular windows commands as well as the bash commands that come with cygwin.
The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is designed for remote access, installing software, transferring files. etc. It's open source and you can write your own service if there isn't one that does what you need. It also has a GUI component for writing, scheduling, queueing and monitoring jobs across a pool of machines.
At the moment the only things it needs to do is to be able to install
applications/patches, and transfer files to and from the machine, and
installing registry patches would be nice as well.
try to download and install eurysco to use in order:
